Massive injuries for Cowboys?

[Basil Brush]

Fox sports news live reporting Scott possibly done his ACL.

Coote possibly torn his calf.

Gee that could massively hurt Cowboys.

 

[Basil Brush]

Double post.

Would be big blows if true, however...

1. Kayln Ponga
2. Kyle Feldt
3. Justin O'neill
4. Kane Linnett
5. Antonio Winterstein / Javid Bowen
6. Michael Morgan
7. Jonathan Thurston
8. Scott Bolton
9. Jake Granville
10. Jason Taumalolo
11. Gavin Cooper
12. Ethan Lowe
13. Coen Hess

14. Ben Hampton
15. John Asiata
16. Patrick Kaufuni
17. Sam Hoare

still looks pretty potent.

Would have preferred to lose personally.

And QLD, f**k.

No Scott and GI would give NSW a glimmer of hope with two games up here.

Winterstein broken wrist and Taumalolo with a possible suspension?

Are you concussed?

Coote and Winters can be covered comfortably with Ponga and Bowen. Scott would be a huge blow but I'm confident in the players we've got. Might give a few of them a nice taste of FG

Winterstein broken wrist.

Taumalolo will miss a week or two for shoulder charge.

Not to worry.

To be fair, I would probably have taken the loss of 2 points over the severe injuries (plus possible suspension).

However, injuries do happen and a win is a win.

You have to wonder where this leaves Scott. He's approaching 32, an ACL will probably put him out for most if not all of the season and that type of injury can't be easy for a big prop his age to overcome. It's gonna be interesting to see if he comes back at all, and how he performs when he does after being out for a long period

 

[Shorty]

We need depth experience and eventually we need to start thinking about life without Thurston and Scott etc.
It's not ideal but I'm not worried just yet.

Wish we were playing them next week haha

Really?

Long term, Matt Scott is infinitely more important than two competition points in round 2.

You lost your first three rounds in 2015 but had a full bill of health come finals time.

I know which is more important having seen our 2015 season go up in smoke when JWH tore his ACL.

Turns out they are playing Manly next week up there.

2 very depleted sides.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Scott is gone for the season.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Huge loss, both figuratively and literally. Losing Coote isn't exactly rosy either.

Geeze, will be an interesting one!

 

[Tommy Smith]

It's always been my belief that invariably there are 2 or 3 really good Premiership chances come seasons end in the big knockout games; and more often than not the one with the healthiest roster wins the title.

This is a brutal blow and I can't see the Cowboys winning the Premiership now.

No contest - your best prop out for the season or an away loss against a non-finals contender?
